Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Nakhlis from the first meeting to discuss treatment options to post-surgery discussions on next steps. She was very supportive when I suggested taking a more aggressive approach to my cancer treatment due to my genetic profile. She is very responsive to any queries I make through the patient portal. This was my first encounter with anyone once I was diagnosed with cancer and I can't imagine having a better experience.

Excellent surgeon
I had a pleasure to have Dr. Nakhlis as a surgeon twice. She is highly professional, outstanding surgeon and gentle at the same time. I consider myself lucky to be one of her patients.

The best care and most professional staff. I traveled in from Atlanta to Boston for breast surgery and I do not regret it. Dr. Nakhlis took time to explain everything in detail and her staff are excellent.

Dr Nakhlis is simply oustanding, both professionally, and in her communication and concern for her patients. She's always ready to listen and gives one confidence. I was worried before surgery, but with her reassurance and demeanor my fears vanished. With Dr. Nakhlis, you are in the most capable hands. She always checked up first thing post surgery, and follow-up was as needed - making certain all was well before being discharged from her care. A gracious, caring professional, second to none.
